I was given a Xerox XA7-19i monitor but the connection doesn't fit with my laptop. I can't seem to find an adapter that looks like it would fit. I don't even know what to aks for because I've never seen a connection like this before. Any thoughts?

Odds are your laptop has a standard VGA (blue smaller) input and the monitor is either a DVI ( white larger) or HDMI ( looks like a large wonky USB port). OR its the other way around and your laptop has the DVI/HDMI but I think I got it right due to ...

I've got a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 that I'm trying to connect to my very old TV (16 years). I'm going through the VCR. I thought I could connect the laptop's VGA to the RGB port on the VCR, tune to the right channel, adjust the display on the laptop & poof --- big screen monitor. Well, no such luck. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, it go directly to the TV, I would need to convert the PC's VGA to coaxial. I thought it would be easier going through the VCR's RGB.

No that will NOT work, first the PC's VGA doesn't have any "Channel" Second you must install Drivers for said VGA card, and the card MUST have a TV out connector either SVHS, or Composite, video out, or as of late HDMI. You Cannot "Receive" a VGA, si ...

Black screen with message about no input signal

I live in Seattle and have an Acer V193B that 'went dark' when I hot-pluggged the VGA connector into my laptop. I *assume* the problem is the chip that buffers the VGA lines is blown. (I know the cable and laptop VGA are not the problem.) The monitor has power (power button glows orange), there is just no video display. Is there any chance that I can get this repaired w/o spending more than the monitor is worth in shipping and repair costs?

First, to check the monitor.\015\012Disconnect the input signal from the computer.\015\012Turn off the monitor and unplug from the A/C source.\015\012Allow the monitor to set for a few mi ...
